Using some smells are also a way of teaching dogs to not be too over-enthusiastic about what's offered them.
I have tried that, although with nice things. Tea is one thing that dogs don't favor. Could be good to know to train them to be politely interested instead of overwhelmingly attacking what's offered.
Odd behavior is sometimes hard to distinguish from normal behavior, so you can't get everything. And in some cases the traffic volume is so large that it's not feasible to try to catch behavior patterns because the deed may be over at the time the analysis has finished.
And then - many systems today lacks necessary logs and may even lack logs completely. That's all too common in those cost-pressed projects. Even if there is a log it's often incomprehensible unless you are the programmer.
A decently sized stone sculpture placed in the area that does show how it did look like before it fell down would be the best thing. A stone sculpture will blend into the environment in a good way.
A glass construction may be annoying too many people.
Don't forget that even if the payer doesn't ask the payment back it will put a strain on the system since every payment has to be processed. Imagine the workload of 50000 payments dropping in to a firm with only a few employees. The processing of each payment will cost a lot more in man-hours than it's providing.
Hardly surprising, and Windows 7 is just slightly better than Vista, but I'm not able to get that spartan (relatively) look and feel of Windows 2000 to get the job done instead of suffering from Microsoft trying to make me feel Awesome and Impressed by their way of overcooking a GUI.
And Windows Vista and Windows 7 are both not very friendly for advanced users.
But this will in a few blows make all reviews related to the companies involved basically invalid.
And it will also cast a dark shadow over a lot of other reviews in other medical magazines.
I would recommend editors to remove all reviews currently for Merck products as well as all reviews provided by "Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine", "Excerpta Medica" and "Elsevier" just to be on the safe side until the sources of every review from those sources can be verified. And other reviews would have to be deeply scrutinized before added too.
The question is that it's software that's sold that the seller has to be responsible for.
For software that you don't pay for you shouldn't have to expect someone to take responsibility for any faults.
The catch is the EULA:s on commercial software that doesn't take responsibility for loss of data etc. and where there are clauses stating that it's not suitable for nuclear plants, medical use and so on. If those writings were nullified then the software companies like Microsoft would be required to take action to make their software a lot safer. Unfortunately it would also make it more expensive.
As for open source - that code can be inspected, analyzed and verified by the end user a lot easier. No need to sign NDA:s etc.
Then - no free ticket to Austria for possible positive outcome of using the CERN accelerator then.
This is expensive business, but it's also bleeding edge research and that means that it's possible that something completely new will come out of this research.
By understanding the building stones of the universe you may also find the path to cheap energy or other things that we can't imagine.
Any machine today can self-destruct given the right circumstances.
The problem lies in the fact that all computers have a flash bios that usually isn't write protected in hardware.
And hard disks have their firmware in flash, which also can result in "interesting" permanent crashes.
So if a hacker wanted to give a certain operating system bad credit all that's needed is to prepare a huge botnet and then blow the machines.
Counter-productive - yes, but don't expect the internet to be free of vandals. We have vandal-protected ATM:s and a lot of things are suffering from vandalism even though there is no reason, so why not your machine?
After downloading and installing Windows 7 I can just say that I'm not completely attracted by it.
If Windows was a Woman:
1.03 - A moron with no mobility with a paintbrush and four colors that succeeded in stabbing herself to death with the paintbrush.
2.x - A stupid female with the feet stuck in a bucket of concrete that's at least able to paint using 16 colors.
3.x - Mobile with crutches and allergic to everything.
95 - Like a dressed up young girl, cute to watch and also very mobile given the right circumstances, sometimes smart and sometimes just too inexperienced.
98 - Like a young teenage girl, starting to get useful.
ME - A teenager on LSD.
NT4 - Maturing and self-aware like an older teenager, but inexperienced and constrained by the parents. Very inexperienced in protective behavior.
Win2K - A bit inexperienced, and more mature. Sometimes constrained by the parents and also not very experienced in protective behavior. Like a girl in the early 20's.
WinXP - Like a woman in the late 20's with some makeup - promiscuous, but with knowledge about protection but don't always use it.
Win Vista - Makeup like a bitch with a decisive mind telling you what to do and what she thinks you need to know and mood like one with PMS. And won't reveal really what you did wrong.
There are benefits of having a dead tree, and there are benefits of having a device. The dead tree is reusable in a different fashion and can be used to light a fire, don't need batteries and can also be used to take care of liquid overflow.
The battery powered device is good in another way because it won't get bigger and heavier just because you load it with more information. And it can do things a dead tree never can - like being interactive or interact with other devices.
But if a battery powered reader isn't allowing the user to use it the way the user wants it it's going to be a dead end because you will only get a limited number of users and you will see competition from other data formats and manufacturers. The DRM hell will also cause a lot of agony and make it fail.
Sun and Solaris are going to be a dead end soon. It's time for vendors to realize that you have to count more on Linux and Windows if you are going to release your software for mainstream use.
There are still vendors that are specialized in Solaris, even though they with little effort could be supporting at least Linux.
And even though Sparc has been an important processor architecture it's likely that it's going the same way as Digital's Alpha - a slow death. The next processor that's going down the drain is probably the Power architecture, even though it's backed by IBM.
And who shall we actually blame for this? Intel? No, it's more the traditional Unix vendors that weren't able to get their cards together but played them against each other instead of providing decently priced and functionally competitive alternatives to the pandemic of Windows.
Unix and closed hardware solutions are a dead end. Linux is today an alternative that is almost always more stable, secure and supported than any randomly picked Unix box.
And I suspect that if Apple hadn't been so protective about themselves disallowing clones during the 80's before Microsoft released Windows we would have had a completely different processor architecture as a base for many computers today - the Motorola 68k architecture instead of the Intel x86. And Microsoft would never been able to dominate completely with Windows.
Never mind that - Atlantis seems to have been on Santorini in the Mediterranean, the rest is just speculation.
What's more interesting is that if it has happened once it can happen again. Living by the coast is a blessing but also a curse. Living inland has it's good and bad sides too. More extreme temperature differences between winter and summer, but less risk for severe storms except for some areas that suffers tornadoes.
So even if the ocean makes living easier it also comes with risk. But people are living there as well as on volcanoes and other dangerous places. The reason is that it happens so infrequently that the risk of dying is relatively low compared to many other risks.

The smell of rotten food is known to induce vomiting, and that's a reaction from the body to avoid food poisoning.
Good luck in finding an ISP that doesn't screw up the DNS in some way.
That's only reserved for a select few sites.

For those that never have been in that area I have a few photos to view too from last summer: http://www.bedug.com/?q=gallery&g2_itemId=2890
Just be careful with what you do in the area. The view is really nice, as you can see in some images I have from last summer:
http://www.bedug.com/?q=gallery&g2_itemId=2931
(Now I'm probably going to get slashdotted! :-P )
I was in that area last summer, and I think that any construction shall be thoroughly considered before approved in that area.
It's a nice area as it is, and the missing face is of course a loss, but it also indicates to us the inevitable change that exists.
It won't be a Mt. Rushmore.
That only works if it's a single person paying, but if you have 50000 persons paying 1 SEK each it's a different matter.
What you use is to send a payment from your bank to the Nordea bank using the SWIFT-address or BIC-code NDEASESS and the account number listed above.
Your bank may require you to pay a fee for foreign payments, but that's a different question.
Don't forget that even if the payer doesn't ask the payment back it will put a strain on the system since every payment has to be processed. Imagine the workload of 50000 payments dropping in to a firm with only a few employees. The processing of each payment will cost a lot more in man-hours than it's providing.
A true case of a physical D.o.S attack.
Next question asked is WHY has Microsoft have to invent one when there are others available already?
Probably the answer is "Because they can" and they see a business in locking in people into their environment.
Hardly surprising, and Windows 7 is just slightly better than Vista, but I'm not able to get that spartan (relatively) look and feel of Windows 2000 to get the job done instead of suffering from Microsoft trying to make me feel Awesome and Impressed by their way of overcooking a GUI.

Sure - mod me troll, but that's my opinion!
If you find such a device put it on the car of an annoying neighbor - or a select cop car and let them have fun.
Or place it on a cab. Taxis go everywhere...
Hmmm... "Funny" isn't what I would have modded...

I'm not sure it's the case.

Anyway - there are certainly better tools than Debug too these days, so it may not be a great loss.
It was at least a great tool under MS-DOS - especially for the "G=C800:5" operation on some computers.
Then - no free ticket to Austria for possible positive outcome of using the CERN accelerator then.

If Windows was a Woman:
Parent post is actually rather funny! :D
Aside from lower CO2 emission, there will be a higher methane emission, but I'm sure that goats are still a good alternative.
I suspect IBM.
Unfortunately what accountants and managers look at are the price of hardware and also price of running the things.
And a service agreement may be a valid issue, but if you run off the shelf PC hardware a lot of the service agreement costs can be cut severely.
It doesn't matter that you may have the best solution in the world if you have competitors that are half as good at the tenth of the price.

I can't help but agree that I wouldn't pay for YouTube access. It's not THAT good or cool to validate it.
